Unless I'm seeking out the opinions of a specific author, I'm not interested in reading a dozen glowing reviews of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I want to read the review from the one guy that ****ing hated it, the guy who wants to make the argument about why it's actually terrible. Maybe I don't end up agreeing with this hypothetical guy, but I don't need my opinions validated, I need my opinions challenged.
This.
High profile big budget games getting great reviews zzzzzzzzzzzz. I'm more interested in dissenting views on the blockbuster games and more opinions on smaller profile games.
But what if a reviewer legitimately loved Skyrim and gives it 10/10? Do you want him to lie and make up problems (or overblow tiny problems, same difference) so that the review is more "interesting"? Because it does seem like some reviewers do this, and to me at least, I find it really annoying.
